Dolly the, Queen of Country Nature arrives in color therefore black and white pictures have there own place different from what we see daily. Theres been four thousand years of black and white pen drawings or record keepings. Society was and still is governed by the signature of a pen throughout history. Ballpoints have used oil-based inks from 1888 and are the only pen systems that do. Today, ISO or DIN archival ballpoint pen inks are on the marketplace. Brilliant dark colors have never been seen before until a ballpoint surfaced within the Pen and Ink art world! Brilliant inks just never came along till a ballpoint pen arrived. Brilliant colors, long flowing lines and half tone lines are what the Ball Point Pen Art movement brings to the worlds attention. Our world arrives in full color therefore drawing with many different colors is fun, productive and natural to a creative person. I always thought weak colored pen and ink colors damaged the mediums potential. Strong bright colors other art medium offered to the public for a long time. Well today bright colors are available with a ballpoint pen if putting in the time to produce such is in order? Im a colorist form the coloring book days of my life. Fifty years of observations and pictures have cheered me up and pleased others along the way therefore it works for me. Let the brightly colored ink flow!
